Re: I'd love to upgrade
"More importantly, though, the process was far beyond the capability of an average user. Installing the same printer on a Windows box took maybe 3 minutes. ... I like Linux, but as a non-enthusiast I often feel like I'm pushing a rope."
Hear hear. Still learning my way around Mint, but it would be so much simpler if the manufacturers could see that there's a relatively untapped market for their product under another OS besides Windows. There will always be those that love to putter around under the hood - I just want to use my machine, and that precludes the desire to poke around the guts of the OS. I used to like it, but now I have stuff I need to get done. Mint fills the bill admirably for 90% or more, it's just that last 10% that's really irking the cr@p out of me.
